Mr. SawELL, from the Stamp-office, presented an Account of Private Bankers licensed.—Ordered to lie upon - the Table. The Irish Corks Duty Bill, and The Four wheel Carriages Bill, were read a third tune and passed. THE PRINCE REGENT'S MESSAGE. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the Older of the Day for taking into consideration the Prince Re gent's Message, for the purpose of moving to dis charge it, in order to postpone it tilt to-morrow, his Lordship stating, that peculiar circumstances, Which should he explaired to-morrow, rendered the postponement'till to-morrow a matter of ex pediency. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE observed, that the House had been placed in a• tnost peculiar situa tion bythis conduct of the Noble Earl. Contrary to all former precedent, according to which it was the regular course to move an Address, in cases like the present, on the next day after the message had been brought down, the House were now to be drawn into a line of proceeding which must necessarily convey a disrespect to the Crown. It was scarcely possible to conceive that Mini sters would have brought down a Message from • the Crown without having previously arranged the measures they intended to propose, in conse quence of such message ; and yet what was the state of the proceeding now before the House ? It appeared, that the Ministers of the Crown had advised the Prince Regent to send down a Mes sage to that House, that upon bringing it down they induced the House to vote to take it into consideration this day, and. that now, when it ought to have been so considered, the Ministers had nut arranged any measure to submit to their Lordships' deliberation. Thus the House were to be compelled by this condtict of Ministers to be guilty of a disrespect to the Crown, in acting contrary to all the precedents applied to such oc casions, by not taking into consideration a Mes sage on the day, or the day after, it was brought down, and this without a ny sufficient reason assigned. The Earl of LIvERPooL said, that as to the dis respect to the Crown which was supposed to arise out of the rontse of proeeeding_now recommend ed, be was perfectly ready to take upon him o elf all the blame of that direspecr, if there was any. It was perfectly true that with regard to Addresses to Messages from the Crown, where merely thanks were to be expressed, or where it was merely state(rAtiat a stinject should be taken into consideration, it was sometimes the case that they ci''ere moved iMmediately upon receiving the Message. In cases, where an opinion was to be given upon the subject alluded to in the Message, it was the practice to appoint the next day for the consideration of the Message, in order that Noble Lords might not be taken by surp'ize. It would however lie expected that 'Ministers should state what measures t hey intended to propose, and it was surely better that time should be given for them to be enabled to make that statement for the satisfaction of the House, than that an Address should he moved ‘vithout I Lord Hou-ststi, fly): withstanding what had been said by the Noble Earl, thought that no sufficient reason had been urged for the present extraordinary and unprecedented proceeding. The House were in fact cdled upon, without any reason whatever, to postpone the consideration of the Prince Regent's Message till to-morrow, after it had been fixed by their Lordship's order for this day, ant: thus to become involved in a direct dis respect to' the Crown. The Noble Earl had evinced great geneiosity in offering to take all the blame to himself, but this would surely not satisfy the House, as their Lordships intist of course be aware that the disrespect would rest not with the Noble Lord individtrally, but with the majority of the House by whom' the postponement was sanctioned. How happened it that the Noble Earl was not prepared, even with the assistance of a little Parliament of his own, to bring forward an Ad dress in answer to the Message ? What had occurred since the Message was brought down by the Noble Earl himself, and the Consideration of it upon his own motion fixed for this diy ? _ What had occurred since to render necessary this deism tore from the constant and invariable usage, of the House ? For such a step no reit son had in point of fact been assigned, and the House were to be involved its disrespect to the Crown, at the mere will and pleasure of the Noble Earl, without any satisfactory elucidation of the cause. That such a course was contrary to all former usage, lie was perfectly confident, and he defied the Noble Earl, versed as he was in precedents, and solicitous, as he was upon every occasion to regulate every punctilio according to precedent, to produce buy precedent for the course of proceeding now proposed. He, for one, could not consent to such a proceeding, and he trusted their Lordships would agree with him, that a pro ceeding so contrary to all precedsnt, and so dis respectful to the Crown, was not fit to be adopted. He bad framed an Address upon the spur of the moment, with' the view of sheaving a due respect to the Crown, and at the same time evincing a proper regard for the burdens imposed upon the people. He did not wish at all to disguise his opinion ; he thoug:it that the Princes of the Royal Family, upon their marriage, ought to have a suitable provision made for. them, but he also thought that in making that provision a dire re ference ought to be bad to the burdens which weighed upon the people. His Lordship con cluded by moving an Address, returning thanks to the Prince Regent for his most gracious Com- • munication, expressing their satisfaction at the in tended marriages of the Duke of Clarence and the Duke' of Cambridge with Princesses of illus trious Houses, and their readiness to make a suit able provision for their Royal Highnesses, with a due regard to the burdens imposed upon the people._ . . . . The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that the Ori ginal Question was, that " this ()Myr be dis charged ;" the motion Since moved was the Ad dress of the Noble Lord ; and the question he had to pnt was, that the words " this Order be discharged," stand part of the question. Lord HOLLAND objected to this, end insisted that the question should be, that the words he had moved as an Address be inserted in the motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed to this, if the I motion wa's so formally put. I Lord HOLLAND inserted words to that effect. Lord Viscount StrimouTut referred to what had been said by his Noble Friend (the Earl of Liver- I pool), that the reasons for moving the postpone ment of tl►e Addr e ss would he stated to-morrow, and observed, that the Noble Lord (Holland) had, in - contradiction to this, moved an Address without any inf►irmation whatever upon the sub ' ject. This appeared to bin; (Lord Sidrrrouth) a gross inconsistency. It was true that the motion for the Address stood for to-day, and it was now proposed to postpone it till to-morrow; but was it not very possible, that 'after the notice had been given:Ministers might receive new impressions— a new view upon the subject. —And if so, was it not perfectly consistent, wirh respect to the Crown, and with respect to that House, to postpone the question for another day, in order that they might be fully prepared to bring for ward an arrangement in that complete shape in Which it was desirable to submit it to their Lord ships. He should therefore feel it his duty to' give a decided negative to the Address proposed by the Noble Lfml. Lord KING observed, that he believed it to be the first instance in which a Minister had given a decided negative to an Address of Congratulation to_the crown. Upon what ground the Ministers opposed it, or upon what ground they postponed their ow❑ motion for an Address, it was difficult to discover. It was certainly, however, a disre spect to the Crown to postpone a motion for an Address, and he should feel it his duty to support the Address moved by his Noble- Friend. 'fi►e Earl of LAUDERDALE objected to the Ad dress moved by I►is Noble Friend (Lord Holland), which he considered as art anomalous and unpre cedented proceeding. He objected also more particularly to the expression used in the Ad dress, respecting a la gard being paid to the bur den imposed upon ti►e people ; because it implied that their Lordshipk had upon former occasions been unmindful of those burdens, and thus cast a reflection upon the House. He, therefore, must oppose the Address upon this ground, and also because he considered it, under the circumstances in which it was brought, forward, as a greater disrespect to the Crown than the - postponement of the motion for the Address moved by the Noble Earl opposite. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, with reference to what had just been said, observed, that Ministers had placed the House in such a situation, that move which way they will, they most he guilty of disrespect to the Crown. It would be undoubt edly a disrespect to postpone the motion for an Address, without any atifficient reason for it be ing assigned. Were they to consider that as a reason which the Noble Viscount (Sidmouth) had • urged, that by granting a delay impressions else where might be removed and alterations made ? —(No, no, from the Ministerial Bench.)He so understood the Noble Viscount ; and what did this mean, but that propositions were to. be matte in quarters where Parliament bud no cogni zance ; and the effect of which was to be,. that Parliament was to be made an instrument of strew ing an apparent disrespect to the Crown. He could discover no other course to pursue to get rid of the difficulty, than to agree to the Address proposed by his Noble Friend, which certainly appeared to him much preferable to the mode adopted by the Noble Earl opposite, of postpon• ing the Address, without any reason appearing why it shod(' he deterred. lie therefore Most vote for Iris Noble Friend's Address. Lord HOLLAND urged that no argument had been brought forward on the part of the Ministers to prove that an Address ought not ►tow to be voted, nor had any reason been shewn why the Ministers were not ready to make their propetsi• tion in conformity with the notice given by the Noble Earl opposite. His Noble Friend (Lord Lauderdale) had only proved the difficulty of the case, but that the House could not act without shewing in sortie sorra disrespect to the Crown, was not his (Lord Holland's) fault, it was the fault of the Ministers who had chosen, without any apparent cause, to postpone their Address. He was at a loss, however, to discover the ground of his Noble Friend's objection to professlng a re gard to the burdens of the people, because, as he stated, it threw a suspicion upon the House that there were times in which they paid no regard to the bur dens. of the people. Did his Noble Friend mean ,to object .to all professions upon such ground ? There were, for instance, other pro fessions in this Adiiress,.:as in many other Ad dresses, of loyalty to the Crown. Did his Noble Friend mean to object to thes-e..on the.ground that they tended to sinew the House to . b. - s disloyal.? \Pith• regard to the disrespect, how did the case actually stand ; one Noble Lord (tor so it would afterwards appear in the Journals) had moved to postpone the consideration of the Message till to morrow. This was, - upon the face of it, a disre spect to the Crown. Let then the House, by a large majority, reject this motion, and determine, by a, large majority, upon addressing the Prince Regent immediately. The Crown might then say the House has acted loyally in their Address, one Peer only has, it seems, moved to postpone the Address, and the Prince Regent might magnani mously determine to .throw a veil over the trans ac►tion, and wish to hear nothing of the name of the Peer who had thus attempted to commit such a disrespect to the Crown. The Address was negatived. The question was then put .that the Order be discharged, upon which the- House Contents . 51—Net Contents 12—Majority 39. The consideration of the Message was post poned till to-morrow. On our re-entrance into the House, the Mar quis Of DowNsmaP was moving for an Account of the Pensions or Annuities, either Naval, Civil, or Military, held by the Dukes of Clarence, Kent, Cumberland, Sussex, and Cambridge; together with any Grants made to them out of the Droits of the Crown or Admiralty; or Emolument de rived from other services, since 1800. The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished a notice to be given of the motion. In answer to this it was observed . , that a simi- Tar motion had been agreed to in the House of- Confraunt, and the EAri Grosvenor read front rice Votes a copy of the motion agreed to in the Corn t~►nns. Some conversation ensued as to the form of the motion, which vas agreed to in substance. The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH objected to the want of respect i;) the motion, particularly in not giving the title of Royal Highness. _ _ LOId KENYON ais .- o urged some objections to the wording of the motion. After some conversation, the mo.ion having_ been carried, it Was agreed th a t it s h ou ld li e upon the table till to-morrow, (Then the order could he rescinded, and the motion put in a proper form ; the Earl of Liverpool observing, that the intor mation required would be in the mean time pie. paring. BANK ADVANCES. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, pursuant to Ws no tice, brought forward his [nation on this sujeet, which he briefly contended wAs necessary, with respect to the due understanding of the very in). portant subject of which it formed a pert. tie accordingly moved " For an account of the total amount of adv,,nces mide by the Bank of Eng land to his Majesty's Government, including all sums which may be now outstanding upon Govern ment Securities." The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that out f the great variety of information which the Noble Lord moved for, the . present was the first on avhich he felt it is duty to offer the least opposition, as he was desirous of affording every information that could be given without matiifest impropt iety. 'fbe present motion he principally regarded as objec tionable;as it tended to interfere with the private concerns of the Bank, vvith which Gentlemen had no more to do, or right to call upon them !o com municate, than they should have with respet to the private concerns of any other trading Com pany. He therefore must withhold his concur rence. Lord HOLLAND was of opinion, that were any private Company placed in the same relative situa tion to the Government as the Bank certainly was, there would be no impropriety in calling for such a disclosure. The Earls of LIVERPOOL and LAUDERDALE re+ spectively spoke in explanation ; after which the above proposal was r,egatived ; and another pro• posed by the latter Peer, for printing the Returns of: the Country Banks, presented that evening, agreed to by the House.—Adjour,ned till to mot row. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Several Accounts relative to Ireland were presented.' Also the Accounts of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt. Sir W. BURREL presented a Petition from the South Down Growers of Wool, praying an alteration in the Laws relative to the Exportation of Wool.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. C. BUTLER presented a Petition from Kilkenny against the Window and Hearth Tax.—Ordered to lie on the table. WATER COMPANIES. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR, on presenting a Petition from the Parish of Mary-le-bone, for leave to erect additional Water works, entered into a history of the establishments at present existing, and their late efforts to undersell each other ; the result was, that some of them became so depressed in their finances, that they were under the necessity of farming out districts which they used to supply; and thus the public be: came imposed upon, by beiug übliged to pay whatever price the individual Company that had monopolized the supply chose to demand. His object was to prevent this imposition, and also to have a constant supply in case of tire, as well as for everypuroose of necessity and life. He therefore trusted the House would allow this Petition to go into a Committee above stairs. Mr. WARRE said a few words, which did not appear to be in opposition to the Petition, lint in behalf of the fair conduct' - • of the Grand Junction Company. The Petition was then brought up, read, and ordered to be referred to a Committee up stairs. Mr. H. SOINER brought up the Report of the Commit, tec on the Southwark Bridge Company. Leave was given to bring in a Bill to raise a farther soar of money fur carrying on that undertaking. Alderman t% 001) presented a •Petition from certain Inha bitants of Wapping, stating the injury they should receive from the Itotherhithe Bride Bill, and praying a consideration of their case. A similar Petition was presented from the Watermen ply ing at Iron . Gate Stairs, to the same effect.—Both were or dered to lie on the table. WOOL. TRADE. Sir W. BURREL male some observations otx . the 'Wool 'Lade, apparently tending show the benefits that trade had derived by the rise in prices last year i but that the Growers laboured under a -heavy drawback by paying Poor's Ita7es, whicia. foreign Growers were exempted from. His argn. meats tended to spew the necessity of prohibiting the importation of foreign wool, and allowing the exportation of our own. He concluded by moving for a Select Committee to inquire into the Laws relative to Wool. Lord LASCELLES argued that there was no ground for this motion, as•the- price of wool had. been gradually rising ever since 1816, and was actually still rising ; and yet, with all, we could • obtain front abroad, there was an inadequate supply for. the manufacturer. He was happy to state, that In the amount. of bro . ad cloths mane factored in Yorkshire, there never was so flourish- . ing a year as the last, .except the year 1813. It was therefore more advantageous to encourage the importation of the raw material, and to send it out in a manufactured state, than to try to int prove the nature of wool to the prejudice of the long wool, which could be got nowhere else. If this sort of wool were allowed to be exported, we should tarnish foreigners with the only material they want to imitate our principal staple manu facture. He was therefore against all interference of the House. Mr. LlR‘ilill4 gave the Hon. Baronet every credit for his interference, but could not agree with him in the object he wished to obtain. He continued to argue precisely similar to the Noble Lord. The price had risen from Is. 6d. to 2s. per lb., while the carcase, that used to fetch 285., now produced from 48s. to 525. These must surely .be sufficient advantages to satisfy • the grower. By the manufacture of fine-grown wool we obtained 34,0001. a-year, which was benefi cial to, every farmer and trader in the kingdom ; so that if the Hon. Baronet's proposition were agreed to, the greatest injury would be done to the agricultural interests. He therefore com pletely concurred with the sentiments of the Noble Lord. Mr. D. GILBERT wished for an inquiry into
